Did you know that sturgeon were once a significant part of Philadelphia’s fishing industry? In the 19th century, sturgeon from the Delaware River and its tributaries made up a major share of the local economy and foodscape. It also played a significant role in sturgeon consumption around the globe.

On Wednesday, April 17, 2019, the Delaware River Greenway Partnership (DRGP) will sponsor an illustrated lecture by Dr. Teagan Schweitzer, “Sturgeon: Its History and Impact on the Delaware Valley from an Industrial and Culinary Perspective,” at 7:00 p.m. in the ACME Screening Room of the Pittore Justice Center in Lambertville.

Attendance for the April 17th lecture is free and open to the public. The Pittore Justice Center is located at 25 South Union Street, Lambertville, NJ. Metered parking is available in the adjacent lot and on nearby streets. Registration encouraged. Go to www.delawarerivergreenwaypartnership.org for more information
